Right, but autotools are broken anyway ;) > so every time I have to issue ./configure I automatically load it. But you didn't issue ./configure, you issued python configure.py. So you started a python program. The reason why you need MSYS for autotools is that their configure script uses POSIX shell commands, which cmd.exe doesn't understand. A python script doesn't have that problem.
